Cubic3 Dutch Design Table or Desk Lamp "Nachtschade", Nightshade Plants Inspired

About the Item

Unique, adjustable and rotational, stylized plant table lamp, from 1987. This rare and interesting table lamp is number 65 of a limited edition of only 100 and one of the others is in the famous Dutch "Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen". Illuminate your workspace with "Nightshade", the innovative desk lamp that blends functionality with botanical beauty. Crafted by hand this adjustable lamp brings a touch of artisanal charm to your desk or sidetable. Designers Ton Hoogerwerf en Gerwen van Vulpen must have been inspired by this particular group / family of plants (a family that grows particularly well in the night and in the shade, hence the name Night-shade) and the result of their design ideas has become a collector's item at home and abroad. Obviously for a lamp to have such a design and such a name makes this work of lighting art a true result of fresh creativity. The bottom part represents the flower pot, then the stem with the leaves and at the end the flower with the bulb as a stamen. Cubic 3 Design was active in the Hague, Netherlands. In our view this is the ideal light for a collection, (private) library or for a desk. This great condition lamp also makes a great gift for anyone with a more than average interest in Nightshade plants and/or modern design rarities. This work of art table lamp is wired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage the world over and when purchased by an American client we will also attach an American power plug so it can be used and enjoyed upon arrival there too. Mind you, our price for this rare light includes perfect packing (in a custom made and strengthened box) and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 20.3 x 4.8 x 10 inches. This light is adjustable and rotational. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by.

Rare Brass, Metal & Wood Art Deco Mushroom Hat Table or Desk Lamp Sign M. Sabino
By Marius-Ernest Sabino
Located in Lisse, NL
100% Unrestored and original condition, mushroom design table lamp. This very unusual and modernistic work of lighting art comes with the maker's mark M. Sabino in the base and it is another one of our latest great 'finds'. Similar work is mentioned in Janneau "Le lumiere francaise" and since it has the entire natural wear showing its long history of usage, we decided to leave it exactly as is. Both the metal shade and the wooden base have been 'marble painted' and the wear has made this rare light extra special too look at. Over the many decades this timeless, layered mushroom design table lamp has also developed an incredibly rich patina. This hand-crafted and documented table...
